Thanks Rick,
Sorry I am being thick here.. are you saying if I get a new one with
just 40k BTU that is will perform like my old 55k BTU?

Thx

No. It will perform different. First it will take longer to recover.
Of course if you don't need that fast recovery (do you ever run out of hot
water?) then that would be a non-issue. It would be hard to say if you have
not tried both. However if you now have a smaller family, like one or more
kids away at college or now on their own, you likely don't need as high a
recovery as before.

It is also possible that the lower recovery may be very slightly more
energy efficient, but that would be hard to say.
